Hi, I am currently using VBA to convert about 100 "xlsb." files into "xlsx.". The problem with my method is that it takes too long to run through those 100 files as the code needs to open each file to save it as the latter one.
Hence, I would like to know if there is any reliable to convert those files into xlsx. (Using software, websites, Excel add-ins, etc.)

Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
What is the purpose of converting these flies? I tried to convert them using Power Automate but I never had any success and haven't found documentation. I ended up utilizing the .xlsb files and running an Office Script macro to convert the formatting of files so that Power Query can read the format

Hi, thank you for the response!

The task is for Power Query to open and read those files. I've even tried to clean the files before running it in VBA but an hour to run those files through the code would freeze my laptop from doing other tasks on Excel (except I can run it on a separate desktop though).
